eramoie I THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AMONG the many questions asked by young men of today arc some of this nature: “ Where can I best fit my- self for life ? ” “ Where can I obtain clear thought, sound judgment, systematic working ideas ? ” These qualities arc absolutely essential to any man who hopes to attain prominence in professional life. He should first have a liberal education, if possible, before entering upon a specified field of life, because this liberal education is the very foundation of all life; it enables him to market his products to the world, to keep himself in close contact and sympathy with the affairs of his fellow men. The College of Arts and Sciences gives this general culture. In this col- O. C. AULT, A.B. lege the individual is trained in the various lines of study which will give him clear thought, sound judgment, and systematic training. Under such men as Dean Anderson, Dr. Farr, Dr. Kcppel, Professor Ault, Dr. Flint, Dr. Crow, and Dr. Sims, students undoubtedly receive such a discipline of their intellects, such an enlargement of their visions, and such an increase in their powers of appreciation of the beautiful and the true, as will enable them to be truly useful citizens and influential members of society. The head of this college. Dean Anderson, is above all a student. Having mastered the classical languages and the modern, and traced the origin of every letter in the alphabet, as far as is possible, he is useful not only as a walking dictionary, but also as an inventor of words. Keen, exact, and reserved. •1917 Eleven

a emino II. S. DAVIS. P1I.D. he stamps a personality upon all of his students which will not soon be forgotten. If a student in Greek is not accurate when he has finished a course under I)r. Anderson, there is no hope, and who can say that accuracy is not a quality to be desired for any line of work ? Dr. James M. Farr, commonly known among the boys as “Jimmy , is a lover of fun, and he gets all the fun he wants. Each year the registrar sends him scores of freshmen, and the doctor makes as much fun as he wants of this material. However. “Jimmy” is fond of mixing with the boys, even using their campus language at times, and becoming one of them himself again. It has been said that he makes a course for students just as hard, and yet as fair, as one possibly could. In other words he teaches a young man how to work. But the return for labor done for Dr. Farr is a passport which, if rightly used, will enable a person to enter the courts of kings, to partake of the best fruits this world can offer. Dr. Flint is the cool. calm, rapid worker who teaches the young man how to expedite business. He is never in a hurry; wise men never are. One speech a year by him is enough to keep the boys in good health the whole nine months. Any problem related to chemistry and science can be easily solved by this man, who has devoted his life to the e lines of work. From the courses under Dr. Flint the student receives training which prepares him for professional work. Of the efficient, business-like professors, none stands out more prominently than Dr. Crow, the master of modern languages. Not a mistake escapes his eagle eye in the class- J. M. KARR.
